Change provisions relating to the Real Property Appraiser Act and the Nebraska Appraisal Management Company Registration Act
This bill amends Nebraska's Real Property Appraiser Act and Appraisal Management Company Registration Act. It strengthens oversight by requiring appraisal management companies to prohibit ownership by individuals with revoked appraiser credentials (except reinstated credentials) and mandating fingerprint-based criminal background checks for owners holding more than 10% of a company. The bill also clarifies disciplinary procedures for appraisers, specifying that "contingent dismissal agreements" do not count as disciplinary actions and detailing investigation and hearing processes for violations. These changes directly affect real property appraisers, appraisal management companies, and their owners by tightening credential ownership rules and standardizing disciplinary reporting.
